many endangered species are predators that belong to the higher trophic levels. Which is the process that primarily affects animals at the highest trophic levels?

Top predators at the highest trophic levels eat lower-level predators and herbivores

Explanation:

A trophic level is defined as one group of organisms in the ecosystem occupying the same level in the food chain, which is composed of different levels (primary, secondary and higher levels). Top predators at the higher levels maintain the trophic balance by eating other species that eat on primary producers/consumers, thereby favoring the homeostasis of the ecosystem.
